The image shows the washing machine depicted in an Andy Warhol-esque way. This was done as an experiment, mainly in order to exlore the idea of repetition. In multiplying the image, each with a different colour, I hoped to enhance the three-dimensional properties.

The image shows the development of this visual relationship from the top, front and left side views. It shows five layers, each of which have been morphed. The spaces created between the lines on each level have been coloured in different shades of red.

The building is a Smart car dealership, and it has three parts to it. The left side is the services and the access block, the centre is the main building, and the right side is the Smart Car Automated Tower.

The image shows one of my three-dimensional models.The top images show the original 3-D model before I began to morph it. The second line of images show the three-dimensional model being morphed, using the red montages as a template. I am attempting to morph the orignial 3-D model into the shapes created in the template. The bottom set of images show the morphed 3-D model. This model was used as a basis for my building design.

This plan shows all six levels of the Smart Car Dealership in one image. It illustrates the language of the visual relationship being used in the plans, as well as in the internal spacings of the building.

The image shows the washing machine components as a photo montage and the CAD drawings. A washing machine consists of moving parts within an enclosed space, and therefore I thought it was important to examine the components in relation to each other.

Abstract

The initial brief for my third year project was to select an object, place or event, and extract as much intangible information as possible.

I decided to do a washing machine because I was drawn to the fact that it has many different components, each with its own particular function, all of which work together to perform the function required of a washing machine.

Initially I started by taking many photos of the washing machine. This was followed by physcially taking apart the washing machine in order to examine each component and to study its location within the framework of the machine. I carefully documented this stage of the process. To add an extra dimension, I went to the Indesit Washing Machine factory in North Wales where my machine was originally manufactured. As is usual in factories, repetition was a very prominent theme, and I later I used this as one of the cores of the project.

From the washing machine I created visual relationships based on the components themselves, and then I took this relationship to a 3D medium which led me to some very interesting ideas. These formed the core design for the plans and internal spacings of my building - a Smart Car Dealership located in Marrakesh, Mococco.
